4. Standards MM2G3. Students will understand the properties of circles. a. Understand and use properties of chords, tangents, and secants as an application of triangle similarity. c. Use the properties of circles to solve problems involving the length of an arc and the area of a sector. d. Justify measurements and relationships in circles using geometric and algebraic properties.

5. Chord Product Theorem If two chords intersect in the interior of a circle, then the product of the lengths of the segments of one chord is equal to the product of the lengths of the segments of the other chord.

8. Secant-Secant Theorem If two secant segments share the same endpoint outside a circle, then the product of the length of one secant segment and the length of its external segment equals the product of the length of the other secant segment and the length of its external segment.

9. Secant-Tangent Theorem If a secant segment and a tangent segment share an endpoint outside a circle, then the product of the length of the secant segment and the length of its external segment equals the square of the length of the tangent segment.
